Description

The report comprises a comparative analysis of good practices by multinational enterprises in the four sectors to help understand constituents’ capacity-building needs and identify potential areas for future work. The analysis carried out under this project helped inform the 2016 discussion and feed into the preparations and possible follow-up to the International Labour Conference discussion.

The report examines good practices and voluntary initiatives to promote decent work. These initiatives vary in their scope and governance, particularly regarding social dialogue and worker representation, which affects their potential to promote decent work within the chemical global supply chains. The report uses a methodological approach based on a review of voluntary initiatives and an analysis of primary and secondary documentation including media reports and academic literature.
